Somerset Maugham\u003c\/b\u003e (Author)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSaid to be loosely based on the life of artist Paul Gaugin, The Moon and Sixpence tells the story of a wealthy stockbroker in middle age, with a wife and children, who leaves his settled life to pursue painting. He abandons everything he has ever known in order to follow a passionate impulse that takes him from France to Tahiti, into the arms of a mistress (his French benefactor's wife, no less) and then steeped in poverty, far away from civilization. While it might read like a cautionary tale for some, The Moon and Sixpence depicts the kind of madness necessary for some to fully realize their gifts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 310\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.65 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 27, 2015\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42116471586951,"sku":"9781512381771","price":15.39,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/c9fee71a0f11377eb810e9148e74c6bf.webp?v=1732516489","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/the-moon-and-sixpence-paperback-12","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
